Nestel for many years have had control over many towns water supply, but
they take it for granted not only by taking 1250 gallons of water a minute, but

Venezuela, Nestlé had added to the communities disgusting climate change,
do you not properly disposing of waste, they had polluted China’s water
system, and they had caused major deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia,
do you set the heaping demand of palm oil for the chocolates and candies.

7. What complaints have been made about your TNC? Why might people
critique or oppose your TNC

While researching I saw that on Nestlés Website strictly only positive things
concerning the company have been displayed, nine from past radians to Co.
wooden display the dark side of the past. from this perspective of individuals
“Nestlé is not always a superhero”. Nestlé has been accused of child labor for
the demand of chocolate for many years, They continue to purchase cacao
beans from uncertified farmers, just recently Nestle was sued for using child
labor to make chocolate, this just shows that the problem is still outgoing.
Even though Nestle promised to fix it in the past. I know that Nestlé is a large
corporation and all, but they really need to start valuing individual’s lives,
making money is an excuse to bypass basic human rights.
